On behalf of the CORP staff we sincerely apologize for your loss and welcome you to join us over at the Champions Online Roleplayers Community. Many of our CORPers are or were longtime fans of the City of Heroes franchise and we share your frustration with the turn of events that recently happened. It's such a shame that such a fun game was cut down the way it had been.
I've been a longtime player of City of Heroes as well, but only got into the RP scene roughly four years ago. Since the launch of Champions Online, I migrated over with frequent visits to the old gal that was City of. Some of you might remember me from the Virtue server. My global name over there was @Reldin and my main character was Soulless Titan. While CoH was a much older game, it still had that sort of charm that kept my interest in wanting to return every now and then. The frequent content updates to the amazing costume pieces, the game always gave me a reason to visit besides going to see how friends were doing.
Champions may not have the vast content that CoH has, but it is slowly working its way there. Just remember that it also took CoH quite sometime to get to where it was. CO has its own charm the same way that any other MMO has. It might not be the same for some of you, but you will eventually find that something to keep you interested. Some of you may like the customization, some of you may like the innovations that Champions has (vehicles!), or what's most important, some of you may enjoy the roleplay here. Whatever it may be, just know that you're not alone. You have the entire CO community here to rely on, as well as whomever decides to follow you from City of.
Adjusting to a new setting may be difficult for you, but do know there are many people here you can ask questions. Champions has lore that spans over two decades and there are many, many resources to take a look at. However, the most difficult thing to do is adjusting to a new community. Over on the CORP forums, we have many threads detailing some helpful links that can help you get started.
So if you decide to cross over to Champions, remember that the Champions Online community welcomes you with open arms. And who knows, you may find some long lost friends that used to play CoH long ago and moved to CO.
If you have any questions about CORP, feel free to send me a message in-game: @Reldin
Or feel free to send a message to one of our moderators.

Consolidate the currencies! (Please!)
Does your Champion have a theme song? (share it!)
Got a funny in-game screenshot? (share it!)
Please fix the Overdrive energy unlock! (Should help promote thematic build diversity!)
I'm noticing, although my time is limited these days so I can't really help out or participate. Hopefully it will continue to full of nice folks and not corrupted with power, as many large groups in gaming communities sadly often seem to do (speaking from experience). The key to success with this endeavor has always been a strong emphasis on free-speech and a code of respect towards others. But bah... not I'm sounding like an old-timer giving a lecture about wisdom
*hobbles on an walking stick*
If I may, it think might be a very good time if you're a part of a Champions Online RP supergroup/clan to really take it up a notch with special events and word-of-mouth advertising back to the CoH community to get as many people over as possible. The more the merrier right?

Welp, the community is still going strong, so the moderators must be doing something right!
We actually had absolutely no moderators at one point and all hell broke loose. That was way back towards the end of 2009/early 2010. We try not to be heavy handed because we know it drives a hard left into the whole free-speech thing, though we try keeping a balance to prevent people from talking about a few topics that might start huge arguments/debates/discussions that might also offend people--usually having to do with religion and politics. The CORP community in-game is pretty big and active at times, so things could be calm one moment and turn into chaos the next. Always keeping us moderators on our toes at least!
